Reginald Reese, 24, was shot in March outside of the Wood Village Apartments on Wood Village Drive in Jackson. Raphael Graves is charged with murder in the case.

"Reginald didn't have a gun, a knife -- nothing," said Reese's relative, Owanda Osborne, "He was just trying to go to get his child -- to pick his child up."

In court Monday, Graves sat in silence as investigators laid out their case against him. Authorities claim after confessing to the crime, Graves told them where they could find the gun used in the shooting.

Graves' defense attorney said the 28-year-old is not a threat to the public. The judge agreed and granted Graves a $150,000 bond.

Osborne said she believes the entire situation could have been avoided. She said the shooting was over a woman.
